My husband's phone has speech to text also, but for the longest he went without "training" it. So, you can imagine its confusion when someone with a deep east TN drawl tried to talk to it. I think sometimes at night, I still hear it crying.

"Warsh? Warsh?! What does he mean?!"

When it comes to sitting around not doing anything for long periods of time, only being active for short windows, and marginal changes and sidegrades I'd say FFXI players were the perfect choice for politicians.

we all know liberals are well adjusted american citizens who only want what's best for society. While conservatives are evil money grubbing scum who only want to sh*t on the little man and rob the world of its resources.

My new phone gets zero bars/no service here at home. If I go 20 or 30 yards away, I can get some service. Would buying a high end booster work? Because it's a pre-paid phone on the sprint network, it looks like using microcell internet type tower is not an option.

It's Sprint; you're screwed. My wife and I can't use our own cellphones at home either.

The powered cell boosters made for sprint network will work, but they have an unfortunate tendancy to lock up every couple weeks, requiring a reset. until you reset them, the ones we have used anyways tend to act like cell phone jammers rather than boosters. The exterior antenna placement is also critical. if it says 26 foot vertical seperation between the antenna and the base, 15.9 feet isn't going to cut it.

The femtocells are much more forgiving if your carrier has one available.

I was thinking of getting one of those models. I haven't upgraded my phone in over 3 years, and I've been holding off on a smart phone because I'm loathe to start paying an extra $30 a month for it.

Seriously, the extra $30 for a data package is probably the best money spent because I tend to save a lot more time without having to go to my comp to check email and do other things that I can do on my phone on the fly. The only danger is when you start using your phone for work-related things because at that point, you'll start working around the clock.

We've bundled everything into AT&T to get the discount and with Ray's job, we get a government discount on top of that. And since we've got the grandfathered in unlimited data package for our cell phones, we are not switching to anything otherwise we lose the unlimited data.
